Those looking to surround themselves in that festive feeling can head to the Clydeside down by the SEC where they will find Cranside Kitchen's epic Winter Garden with food options and festive fun aplenty.
For a more private party (or smaller group) you can even hire one of Cranside's Swedish Forest Chalets.
NYC Bar & Grill, Hope Street
A great one for small to medium size groups, NYC serves up the very best in American-style comfort food, as well as offering plenty of beer and cocktail options, plus its city centre location and proximity to nearby Karaoke bar Cosmopol make it an ideal option for keeping the party going.
WEST On The Green, East End
